The Simple Trouser Trend That We Saw Everywhere at London Fashion Week

October 23, 2021 at 08:00AM It’s a tale as old as time: Vogue magazine editor wears an item of clothing to fashion week; said item of clothing instantly goes out of stock online. This season, it was a pair of achingly cool tailored trousers from none other than high-street fave Uniqlo. No wonder they flew off the shelves so quickly. Sadly, the exact item in question is yet to be restocked, but I can confirm that this trouser trend extended its reach far beyond the one editor, and there were countless fashion folks who championed the slouchy style on the streets of London.The above look from Camille Charrière is the perfect encapsulation of this new breed of tailored trousers: low-slung, wide-legged and just the slightest pooling of fabric on the floor. It has definite Annie Hall undertones. While most people chose flat shoes or very low heels to emphasise the nonchalant silhouette, it was styled in a number of different ways with simple…

I Think These Are the 7 Best Shoes to Wear When It’s Cold

October 23, 2021 at 06:08AM Winter presents many sartorial dilemmas. Will your chunky knit fit under your tailored coat? Is one pair of tights enough to withstand the chill? How many layers can you wear without looking like Joey Tribbiani wearing all of Chandler Bing’s clothes? The biggest quandary of them all, however, is which shoes to wear over the course of the next few months.We don’t want to sound dramatic, because there are, of course, worse things than having cold feet, but nevertheless, it’s not exactly enjoyable. So whether you’re heading out for a wintry walk or are planning your footwear for party season, warmth is a key factor to consider.Naturally, practicality should also be considered, but that doesn’t mean you have to scrimp on style. From the pair of boots that serves up form and function in equal measure to the flats you can wear with tights…

We’ve Found the Best Boots Around—And They’re All Under £250

October 23, 2021 at 06:08AM Boots, glorious boots. The one thing that makes the oncoming grey days and dark nights bearable. Nothing beats that fresh-out-of-the-box, new season, new boot feeling (apart from perhaps the elation when you find a pair that don’t give you blisters on the first wear). As such a staple of our winter wardrobes, boots of all kinds really do deserve a medal for how many footwear dilemmas they see us through and especially for how versatile they make our wardrobes. The perfect western pair will tone down a dressy-dress and make those summery styles autumn appropriate. A fancy ankle boot will ‘glow up’ jeans and a knit; anything with a heel suddenly makes wide leg trousers actually wearable; and a chunky chelsea or hiking style will ensure you’re still looking on point for those cosy winter walks (and the inevitable ‘gram). The beauty is…

My Lips Get So Chapped in Autumn—Here Are 12 Lip Treatments I Swear By

October 23, 2021 at 06:00AM Autumn is officially back, as are the falling leaves, colder temperatures and all the cosy knits. It’s actually one of my favourite seasons, as I’m constantly in a cosy bubble. It’s also the time that I like to transition my skincare products from my lightweight summer ones to my super-moisturising, hydrating and thicker ones. My normal-to-dry skin seems to be struggling with the constantly changing weather, as I’ve recently found myself getting more dry patches than usual.However, I think I've just about found the perfect combination of products to keep my body hydrated by lathering my body in Keys Soulcare’s Sacred Body Oil as soon as I get out of the shower and then layering my trusted CeraVe Moisturising Lotion on top to lock it all in.I’ve been desperate to also find some go-to products to keep my lips from chapping and feeling terribly sore, as they’re probably one of my biggest problem…

15 Face Serums That Do the Most But Don’t Cost More Than £38

October 23, 2021 at 06:00AM Face serums are beloved because they’re so lightweight but pack a big punch when it comes to skincare benefits. They serve a variety of skin needs. Do you have totally dehydrated, flaky skin? There’s a serum for that. Or what if you want something that has a little bit of exfoliating action to get rid of dead skin cells and dirt? There’s one for that, too. And what about something with anti-ageing benefits? Oh, there’s definitely an option for you.So yeah, face serums can do so much and are a great skincare product, but there’s a downside to them—they can get pretty pricey. I definitely splurge every few months on my favourite vitamin C serum that just so happens to cost £110, but to me, it’s totally worth it because my skin always looks brighter and healthier when I use it. That…

The Guilt-Free Fashion Brands We’re Prioritising in Our Wardrobes

October 23, 2021 at 06:00AM Whether we like it or not, the world of sustainable fashion is one that is riddled with inconsistencies and misinformation. What does sustainable actually mean? What should we be looking out for when we shop? Even as a shopping editor who is keen to champion a more conscious approach to consumption, I often struggle to separate meaningful action from dreaded greenwashing. All I can say is thank goodness for Good on You, a sustainability rating platform I use on a regular basis to help to break down this knotty subject into more digestible chunks. “Our individual choices play a central role in driving the kind of systemic changes that the fashion industry urgently needs. But with frequent greenwashing and the lack of transparency across supply chains, it’s often too time-consuming for one person to do all of this research for themselves. That’s why we’ve built…
